At least four local school districts will join students from Battle Creek Central High School on Friday in protesting violence and those who would blame the city center's school for that violence.

Lakeview School District, Pennfield Schools and Marshall Public Schools plan to bus more than 200 students and officials downtown to join Central for a silent march along West Michigan Avenue. On Wednesday, Battle Creek's Downtown Partnership sent an email to businesses, encouraging them to also join the march planned for 10 a.m.
